- Oprah Winfrey

Respect

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

- Maya Angelou

Self-Determination

- Michael Jordan

Teamwork

“Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.”

Adventures

ESYNOLA

Edible Schoolyard New Orleans is a FirstLine signature program that changes the way children eat, learn, and live. As Wheatley settles into its brand new facility, ESYNOLA is working to build gardens to support garden-based science and culinary classes.
